Anne Boleyn (circa 1500-1536), Second Queen of Henry VIII

Sitter associated with 21 portraits
The second wife of Henry VIII, Anne was associated with the King from 1527 and secretly married him in 1533, shortly before Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon was completed. Later in the same year their daughter Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I) was born. By 1536 Henry had grown tired of Anne and was still desperate for a male heir. She was charged with adultery and incest and was executed the same year.
